2K and Firaxis Games today revealed that Jayavarman will lead Khmer in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.

Rising to power during a period of crisis for the Khmer, Jayavarman was a military leader. By 1181, Jayavarman VII had repelled Cham invaders to the north and when hostilities died down, he crowned himself king. But instead of turning outward and seeking to aggressively expand, he focused on his people.

King Jayavarman VII saw himself as a warrior for his subjects. As a result, his rule was marked by its tolerance and his drive to create a place of safety and paradise for his subjects.

Black Panther looks like it will be one of the best films of 2018. Marvel Studios’ BLACK PANTHER follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.

I am a big fan of the Crown Royal brand. When Crown Royal Apple came out it brought the whiskey game to a whole new level. Crown Royal, one of America’s best-selling and most-loved whiskies, has enlisted the talents, and all-around creative brilliance, of actor and comedian J.B. Smoove to continue momentum for its flavored whiskies – Crown Royal Regal Apple and Crown Royal Vanilla. As a leader within the nearly 10 million case flavored whisky category that grew 8% last year, Crown Royal looks to celebrate the fun-loving side and irresistibly delicious side of whisky with a new spirited campaign!

The latest work between J.B. and Crown Royal premiered last week called “Crown Royal Regal Apple: The Musical,” which began airing in October, also known as National Apple Month. In a true collaboration, Crown Royal paired J.B. and his crew to create a pulsating original track, “It’s Apple Time, Baby,” along with corresponding dance moves. In the main film, J.B. struts through a lavish nightclub, as patrons jump into his dance number and join his crew for Crown Royal Regal Apple shots – all while not missing a beat.

To commemorate J.B.’s starring role and new-found crooner skills, Crown Royal crowned him as its “King of Flavor” during an uproarious coronation in New York hosted by comedian Chris DiStefano. This is not the first foray for Crown Royal and the newly anointed King. Over the last year, J.B. brought out the true meaning of “Vanilla So Good,” to launch Crown Royal Vanilla.

After watching JB’s new video check out the Crown Royal recipes below.

Did you miss Ted Danson on Jimmy Kimmel last night? Well we got you covered. Jimmy Kimmel had a drink with the most famous TV bartender ever, actor Ted Danson, who is best known for his previous role as iconic bartender Sam Malone on the television show, Cheers.

During the comical conversation, Jimmy proceeded ask Ted the following three “ridiculous questions”:

- Would you rather live in a haunted house or a gingerbread house?

- If you had to sneak a parrot through airport security, how would you do it?

- When you were a little kid, did your mother ever lick her fingers and smooth out your eyebrows?

Ted currently stars on television sitcoms, The Good Life, and Curb Your Enthusiasm, which just returned to HBO earlier this month.

Are you looking for a new rum to keep in your bar? Why not try Oak & Cane? Crafted using locally sourced ingredients and double-distilled in South Florida, Oak & Cane is a super-premium, American-made gold rum, aged in white American Oak and well rested with fresh Florida orange peels — the only rum to use this unique ingredient — resulting in a smooth, versatile spirit.

Based in South Florida, Oak & Cane was founded by local partners Fred Greene, Cameron Grace and Joe Villatico, With a huge personal passion for spirits, the team set out to create locally distilled Oak & Cane — now proudly part of an exclusive selection of limited American-made rums.

They double-distill to create a smooth finish, then let it rest with fresh Florida orange peels to bring out subtle notes of vanilla and caramel. The result is an excellent sipping rum enjoyed on the rocks.

Oak & Cane is rooted in innovation, celebrating new-world distillation practices with a proprietary process. Instead of relying on the traditional aging process, which takes years, Oak & Cane double-distills its recipe to smooth out the finish, then rests its rum for 6-12 months with fresh Florida orange peels and medium-charred white American Oak. While it is crafted as a sipping rum, its versatility also opens a world of opportunity for uses in untraditional rum-based cocktails, like Oak & Cane’s signature Mimosa or Old Fashioned.

The guys have taken their love for spirits and willingness to think outside the barrel to create an entirely new process — without the burden of time — which ultimately led them to open up the category and create one of the best tasting rums on the market.

Already garnering impressive industry accolades, Oak & Cane was awarded a Bronze medal in the Rum category at 2016’s New York International Spirits Competition. The brand recently added another Bronze win in the Rum category at 2017’s Berlin International Spirits Competition.

On the nose, Oak & Cane offers delicate aromas of citrus, revealed over aromatic wood. On the palate, hints of vanilla and caramel delight the taste buds. Its light viscosity and mild texture lead to a subtle and smooth finish. At 40% ABV, Oak & Cane is also well balanced, making it a great drink on the rocks or enjoyed in a variety of craft cocktails.

Believe it or not this fall marks the 200th anniversary of when the first eight barrels of Guinness made its journey across the Atlantic, from Ireland to America. To toast to this momentous anniversary, Guinness is releasing a commemorative, limited-edition 200th Anniversary Export Stout.

In 1817, Benjamin Guinness—Arthur’s son—brewed the first Guinness beer with a new roasted grain called Black Patent Malt. His stout recipe laid the foundation for how Guinness would brew for the next 200 years. Inspired by a recipe originally developed by Benjamin Guinness and documented brewer diaries dating back to 1817, Guinness 200th Anniversary Export Stout is rich and full-bodied with notes of caramel, toffee and sweet chocolate.

The 200th Anniversary Export Stout is available now in a 6-pack and comes in at 6% ABV for a SRP of $8.99. In addition, the beer will be included in the 200 Years of Stout in America 12-Pack along with Guinness Original, Antwerpen Stout and Foreign Extra Stout, for a limited-time.

Who is your favorite team to root for? Are you a NFL, NBA, NHL or MLB fan? Or are you a college sports fan? Well no matter the sport or league you can get some sick gear from a company called FanChest.

At Fanchest they love to support their favorite teams, but dread shopping for gifts for the sports fans in their lives. To them going to a big box sporting goods store is like traveling in on of Dante’s layer of hell. Fanchest feels that at those big stores there is no customer service, an insane amount of choices, and no excitement. Even checking out the big ecommerce sites is frustrating. They would rather get a root canal. So that is why they created a new subscription service.

They wanted things to change. They feel that gifts should be thoughtful, fun to give and get, and capture the passion that all sports fans have. These are the gifts that you’ll cherish for years and brag about to your friends. Their mission at Fanchest is simple, to deliver the best gifting experience for all sports fans.

They work with a lot of great sports properties like Majestic, Stance, Topps, and ’47 Brand. I recently got a Chicago Bears Fanchest. This box was packed with a lot of great items. There was a comfortable T-shirt, a sick winter hat, a mug, mints, pens and a notebook that had different Chicago Bears logos on them.
